That case is among three that highlight the plight in fields in Southwest Florida, and are all part of a new traveling museum.

The museum travels in a hauling truck, similar to a U-Haul.

It's highly symbolic and workers would routinely be held in the back of those trucks, sometimes locked in and chained.

But this truck is anything but, in fact it's filled with news articles, pictures, and stories of the people who engaged in and were victims of modern-day slavery.

Leonel Perez is volunteering his time to the museum's efforts.

The Guatemalan works the fields in Immokalee, but he's spending his time with the museum, and says things today are better.

"You know, things have gotten better on some levels," Perez says through a translator. "In terms of physical abuse by your boss, that's not common anymore, (but) there is verbal abuse often."

For some, the stories are unfathomable, twenty-four people living in one mobile home, people chained to the backs of trucks, escaping to the light of day, and being seen as a piece of equipment rather than a human being.

The reactions from those who came by were mostly of shock.

"As close as it is you'd think we'd know about it, you know. We'd know everything that's going on, but we don't," said George Briggs.

Jeanne McCallister read through the details of some of the cases in the museum.

"I think a person would have to be callous to not be shocked and appalled," said McCallister.

For Perez, he tells us the reason he's here is the need for equal treatment.

"That's exactly what we want and it shouldn't be a question. There shouldn't be the existence of these conditions and there wouldn't be if we were seen and treated as the human beings that we are," said Perez.
